True champions wear quality horse rugs and strike a mean pose.

It’s not a hard thing to do; taking a decent snap of a thoroughbred looking magnificent, but to do it to professional standards takes a keen eye and years of practice! It’s a common enough image seeing the 2.30 odds on favourite strolling around the winner’s enclosure wearing the latest Funnell after race blanket, as it’s usual to see a hoard of press photographers looking for that exclusive shot for their back page. But unless you’re in the trade I’ll bet you haven’t given much thought to the equipment that adorns the filly and that includes the blanket it’s wearing! Far from being a regular piece of fabric the latest incarnations of turn out blankets feature breathable material, which allow the animal’s coat to cool down naturally. Manufacturers like Masta horse rugs, like most manufacturers, are adept at supplying a wide variety of blankets, no doubt many of which have been photographed on the back of one champion or another.

There’s no denying that portraits of racing thoroughbreds or even the family pony make ideal portraits for the home and to be honest landscapes, cityscapes and industrial scenes also make for the perfect way to create some artistic interest even in the most uninspiring of settings. The secret is to find a photographer who sees things from a different perspective to the norm and one such photographer, whose collection is as diverse as the latest collection of equestrian blankets, certainly has a breathtaking online gallery which is well worth your inspection. The web is a great way to view a plethora of products, turn out blankets and stable blankets from suppliers like Saxon horse rugs being amongst them and if you use a leading retailer you can undoubtedly view all the best tack in one place. In fact in one respect it’s similar to the stunning website of a photographer who learnt their trade amongst the rugged landscapes of The Lake District, with all the items on offer being well photographed you can see exactly what you’re buying.

The chances are, if you’ve perused the eye catching website of one of the brightest photographers around at the moment, you will have come across a shot which inspires you. Quite possibly something along the lines of the amazing Wilton Chemical Works industrial scape and similarly to Bucas horse rugs, the prints of your choice are incredibly easy to purchase online. Purchasing prints from a professional photographer certainly give the landscape in question an aura of exclusivity and unless you make a very unwise purchase you will get the same feeling when you purchase quality Amigo equestrian blankets. Stabling and equestrianism in general is both an expensive and time consuming past time, so it goes without saying that you really care about the needs of your animal. If this happens to be the case make sure you buy a blanket that is a great all rounder and just like the exclusive photographic print that hangs on your wall, never fails to impress.
